Thank you, John. Well, at this time we’d also like to welcome Richard to join us for the dedication of the Partners statue.

Well, gentleman there’s one more personal friend of Walt Disney who’d like to join us, the one and only Mickey Mouse.

The refrains of the Mickey Mouse Club March fill the air as Mickey merrily makes his way to the podium.

Walt's pal, Mickey

Thank you, Mickey. Thanks for joining us today. Throughout the years, you were there hand in hand with Walt creating those incredible smiles that have lasted for generations. So the world has come to realize that Walt Disney and magic went hand in hand just like you and Walt. So the inspiration that you both have given us will be etched in our hearts and our dreams forever.

So now, gentleman and Mickey, together we will officially dedicate this beautiful statue in honor of Walt Disney’s Centennial birthday.

I’ll read the inscription for all of you. I think those back there may not be able to read it well.
